Over £7.4m has been secured for new bike lanes, footpaths, and active travel infrastructure across the #Liverpool City Region, including #Halton, #Knowsley, #Liverpool, #Sefton, St Helens, and #Wirral. This funding, from the government’s Active #Travel Fund, will improve connections between existing and planned routes, promoting #walking, #cycling, and wheeling as safer alternatives to car use. Additional funds will support projects like #cycle safety training, secure bike parking, and social prescribing schemes for health and wellbeing. The investment is part of a wider plan to create a 600km network of walking and cycling routes, with 148km already delivered. This forms part of Mayor Rotheram’s plan for an integrated, London-style #transport system. Other major investments include over 100 zero-emission #buses, a new Mersey Ferry, and improvements to St Helens town centre and the Liverpool Baltic rail station.

And another photo from the return journey from my trip home for Mothers' Day.

Somewhere beyond that wall there are lions. Couldn't hear their roars for the roar of traffic on the East Lancs a couple of metres behind me as I took that.

(It's the edge of Lord Derby's estate, home to Knowsley Safari Park)

Took a trip out through West Derby and Croxteth Park to Huyton via Stockbridge Village last night.

Far leafier than the locals would expect from a ride through "Cannibal Farm" (c.f. Cantril Farm, which got such a bad name they renamed it Stockbridge Village) and "Two dogs" (-fighting, rhyming slang for Huyton)
